1 DNA Structure

2

3 _______________ – a special virus that infects bacteria
- attaches to a bacteria cell and eats its genetic information then ____________________________________to make “clones” of itself.

4 Bacteriophage – a special virus that infects bacteria
- attaches to a bacteria cell and eats its genetic information then _____________________________________to make “clones” of itself.

5 Bacteriophage – a special virus that infects bacteria
- attaches to a bacteria cell and eats its genetic information then replaces it with its own genetic information to make “clones” of itself.

6 DNA – Deoxyribonucleic Acid
-________genetic information - _______ genetic information from parents to offspring

7 DNA – Deoxyribonucleic Acid
- stores genetic information -___________genetic information from parents to offspring

8 DNA – Deoxyribonucleic Acid
- stores genetic information - passes genetic information from parents to offspring

9 DNA is made up of _____________

10 DNA is made up of Nucleotides.

11 Each Nucleotide has 3 parts:
1. ___________________ 2. ___________________ 3. ___________________

12 Each Nucleotide has 3 parts:
1. Phosphate group 2. Deoxyribose – sugar 3. Nitrogen base - proteins

13 3. ___________________ 4. ___________________ 4 nitrogen bases
1. ___________________ ___________________ 3. ___________________ 4. ___________________

14 Phosphate Group + Deoxyribose make up the ____________
4 nitrogen bases 1. Adenine 2. Thymine 3. Cytosine 4. Guanine Phosphate Group + Deoxyribose make up the ____________ Bases make up the ______of the ladder

15 Phosphate Group + Deoxyribose make up the sides of the ladder
4 nitrogen bases 1. Adenine 2. Thymine 3. Cytosine 4. Guanine Phosphate Group + Deoxyribose make up the sides of the ladder Bases make up the ______of the ladder

16 Phosphate Group + Deoxyribose make up the backbone
4 nitrogen bases 1. Adenine 2. Thymine 3. Cytosine 4. Guanine Phosphate Group + Deoxyribose make up the backbone Bases make up the steps of the ladder

17 Bases are paired and held together by ________________(H-bonds).
_________ pairs with __________________ _________pairs with __________________

18 Bases are paired and held together by Hydrogen Bonds (H-bonds).
____________ pairs with __________________

19 Bases are paired and held together by Hydrogen Bonds (H-bonds).
Adenine pairs with Thymine (A-T) ________ pairs with _____________

20 Bases are paired and held together by Hydrogen Bonds (H-bonds).
Adenine pairs with Thymine (A-T) Cytosine pairs with Guaninie (G-C)

21 A- T - G - C - T- A - C- G- T A C G

22 _______ – Adenine and Guanine – have 2 rings
____________ – Cytosine and Thymine -have one ring

23 Purines – Adenine and Guanine – have 2 rings
____________ – Cytosine and Thymine -have one ring

24 Purines – Adenine and Guanine – have 2 rings
Pyrimidines – Cytosine and Thymine -have one ring

25 The shape of DNA is called the __________
The shape of DNA is called the __________. It looks like a _____________. The Double Helix ______ DNA and makes it more ____________ so that it _____________________.

26 The shape of DNA is called the Double Helix
The shape of DNA is called the Double Helix. It looks like a ____________________. The Double Helix ______ DNA and makes it more __________so that it ______________________.

27 The shape of DNA is called the Double Helix
The shape of DNA is called the Double Helix. It looks like a twisted ladder. The Double Helix ______ DNA and makes it more __________ so that it _____________________.

28 The shape of DNA is called the Double Helix
The shape of DNA is called the Double Helix. It looks like a twisted ladder. The Double Helix twists DNA and makes it more __________ so that it _____________________.

29 The shape of DNA is called the Double Helix
